What worries me about all this is the precedent that will be set (maybe already set in previous shutdowns, I don't know).

 

Whichever party is unhappy with a law - already enacted and blessed by the SCOTUS - can hold the operation of the government hostage. Perhaps a naive viewpoint, but it doesn't seem right.

Nothing different then has been going on already at the state level when Dems ran and hid in WS and IN because they didn't like a bill they new would pass. Also didn't the Dems defund a bill that had to do with building fence on the Mexico boarder. I'm sure the Rep have done something in the past to lead us down this path. They're all a bunch of idiots that don't care about anything past getting reelected and towing the party line.

The Koch brothers are libertarians. What gets left out of all your liberal nonsense, is that fact Koch brother also donated money to causes for Gay marriage and ending the drug war.

Ending the drug war?

I want to see a law where whenever someone in congress votes in favor of a government shutdown and an interruption to other government employees' pay....then they permanently forfeit their own paycheck from the government.

Why freezing government is the best decision any lawmaker has made in my lifetime.

He is no smarter than my dog.

Yes please do, I encourage you to do that. yeah I have smart mouth comments sometimes, but dont pretend to be some all mighty like some on here. So yes I hope you do ignore me. I have raised some great points on here and also some out of the world crazy stuff, but at least I am not simple minded and am open to everything someone says. If you are offended by what I said about my dog, awesome, I am glad I could offend you today.

But someone's opinion doesn't change the fact that I think limiting funding limits or mutes voices. Now if we want to talk about drawing a better line in Washington between Lobbyist and politicians well then we can agree on something.

I'm confused. I'll try again. From what you write, why are the Koch brothers OK with the spread of heroin in Northern Kentucky and the oxy drugs in Eastern Kentucky?

 

Or did you intend to write that the Koch brothers favor the legalization of marijuana?

Issue w/ that is that by that time it is too late. Lobbyists already have influence as soon as primary winner is announced. By the time they get to Washington, they already have too many people in their beds.

So how is the war on drugs working on the spread of heroin in NKY and the oxy drugs in EKY?

When I go to rcnky.com I see that arrests are being made in the fight against heroin. I'm not as up to speed on the situation in EKY. I'm confused by the intent of your question and what Lipton Bash wrote. Please clarify. I would hope that resources would not diminish in this fight.

My question is simple. The war on drugs has been going on since what the mid 80's? When did the spread of heroin in NKY start? When did the spread of RX drugs in EKY start? So I ask again, how is the war on drugs working on these issues? Are the arrest you see on rcnky.com solving the heroin problem in NKY?

Quit beating around the bush and make your point. What are you saying: Because the war on drugs isn't as effective as it should be we should give up? I went to a layout at a funeral home last year of a young man in his 20s. He grew up down the street from us. Awful experience.
